Buddha: His Life, his Doctrine, his Order c10.25

c10.25

"To the Order will I look in faith: in right behaviour lives the Order of disciples of the Exalted One; in proper behaviour lives the Order of the disciples of the Exalted One; in honest behaviour lives the Order of the disciples of the Exalted One; in just behaviour lives the Order of the disciples of the Exalted One, the four couples, the eight classes of believers;* that is the Order of the disciples of the Exalted One, worthy of offerings, worthy of gifts, worthy of alms, worthy to have men lift their hands before them in reverence, the highest place in the world, in which man may do good.
